Particle physicist Brian Cox - Do You Know What Time It Is?

Physicist Brian Cox asks, 'What time is it?' It's a simple question and it sounds like it has a simple answer. But do we really know what it is that we're asking?

Brian visits the ancient Mayan pyramids in Mexico where the Maya built temples to time. He finds out that a day is never 24 hours and meets Earth's very own Director of Time. He journeys to the beginning of time, and goes beyond within the realms of string theory, and explores the very limit of time. He discovers that we not only travel through time at the speed of light, but the experience we feel as the passing of time could be an illusion.

There is a new Theory of Everything Breakthrough. It exposes the flaws in both Quantum Theory and String Theory. Please see: Theory of Super Relativity at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.superrelativity.org/" title="Super Relativity">Super Relativity</a> Einstein was right!

I really like Brian Cox. He's the best thing that's happened to us dolts trying to understand the world around us since Carl Sagan.

The last line of this describes the universal aspect of time...we don't even really know what that is. All we have when we talk about time is our phenomenological understanding of it, time, in fact, could just be a perception of our mind and nothing else...but it could also be some real force or energy out there. We don't really know, and may never. This could be one of those mysteries veiled in the cloak of the meta rules of the universe. This was a REALLY well done video and recommended for all. It doesn't get bogged down in terminology, but still manages dives deep into the issue.

As mentioned and shown in part three @ 1:15 in this video.

Hubble Ultra Deep Field 3-D Fly-Thru
A flight through the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, the most distant visible-light view of the universe. The redshifts of 5,333 galaxies were converted to distances to assemble a 3-D model of the data. This scientific visualization flies through the data to showcase its true 3-D nature.
